Scream 6 Director Reveals One Easter Egg We Never Noticed
The movie is full of little hidden details, but one of them was overlooked by everyone.
The new Scream, released in 2022, refreshed the long-running franchise with new ideas and a dynamic confrontation with Ghostface, proving that this universe still has surprises in store.
The next one installment, Scream 6 proved to be a bold and exciting movie that continued to break the canon of the horror series.
Compared to Scream 5, the new movie turned out to be more predictable – many plot twists were pretty foreseeable. But the new movie showed more brutal and even crazy scenes with murders and chases.
Ghostface has become more aggressive, trying to kill characters even in the subway and in a store with a shotgun.
The confrontation between Gale and Ghostface may be the most intense in the series. Scream 6 is a uniquely successful continuation of the long-running franchise.
The movie is full of references to other horror movies, from Wes Craven's Freddy Krueger costume from A Nightmare on Elm Street to references to obscure movies like 1992's Candyman and its 2021 reboot.
However, according to the directors, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, there is one particular Easter egg in the movie that no one seems to have noticed.
In one scene, Tara and her friends are dressed exactly as characters from the directors' feature debut, V/H/S. In their own words, they were just having fun with the addition of such a reference to their previous work.
There are many other Easter eggs in the movie. The shrine of Ghostface has a lot of familiar items for fans.
Among the exhibits are the Ghostface costumes of all nine previous killers, the casual outfits of the characters of the previous installments, the theater set from Scream 2, and even the TV that Sydney used to kill Stu in the first Scream – the same TV that Kirby used to kill Ethan.
In one scene, Gale is interviewing Sam and Tara. Sam tries to hit the reporter, but she dodges, although Tara still manages to hit Gale.
This is a reference to the scene in the first Scream where Gale was slapped by Sidney.
